Important prehistoric site - the Tischofer Cave More

The Tischofer Cave is at the start of the Kaisertal (Sparchenklamm). Since the 17th century there have been regular findings of bones in the cave, which leads around 40 meters into the mountain. An excavation in 1906 found skeletons of humans as well as over 300 cave bears. It also found remains of foxes, hyenas, wolves and even reindeer. Tools made of bone and stone, ceramic fragments, bronze jewellery and casting moulds from the Bronze Age were also discovered. These discoveries prove early human habitation in the Neolithic (approx. 30,000 years BC) and Bronze Age. The Tischofer Cave is also a special power place listed in the book "Magisches Tirol" (magical Tyrol). (Note: a number of complete skeletons of cave bears can be viewed in the museum of local history at Kufstein Fortress.). The Tischofer Cave was also used as a meeting point and weapons cache by Tyrolean soldiers during the war of liberation from Napoleon's troops in 1809.
